In the above banner, you see parts of a map of several countries of the Middle East (or Asia Minor) (Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Israel), Europe (Turkey), and Africa (Egypt). The map documents the stages in Baha'u'llah's successive exiles starting from Tehran on January 12, 1853 after his release from the Great Pit (dungeon) to Akka (Achor, Acre) across the bay from Mount Carmel (now included in Haifa) in the then Ottoman prison fortress where he was imprisoned starting on August 31, 1868.

It is interesting to note that He set foot on 3 continents.

The map also lists the title of each (many) His Writings and where it was revealed/done.
